Tributyltin Alters Seric Bile Acid Pool Composition in Male Rats.
Article in Toxics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tributyltin (TBT), a recognized endocrine disruptor, is associated with metabolic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and osteoporosis. Bile acids (BAs) play pivotal roles in lipid digestion and absorption. However, there are no studies to illustrate the effects of TBT on BA pool composition in circulation. Here, rats were treated with TBT (50 μg/kg) or a vehicle control once every three days for sixty days to analyze serum BA levels using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). The liver tissue sections and lipid levels of rats were examined using conventional methods. TBT induced sporadic cholestasis in the livers of rats and significantly reduced the levels of five BAs, including four conjugated BAs [acidtaurocholic acid (TCA), taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA), taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA), and tauro-β-muricholic acid (Tβ-MCA)] and one unconjugated bile acid [dehydrolithocholic acid (DLCA)], while the serum levels of triglyceride, cholesterol, and bilirubin were unaltered by TBT treatment. These results indicate that TBT exposure affected the BA pool composition in circulation, especially the taurine-conjugated BAs.
